A submarine sandwich, also known as a sub, is a type of sandwich consisting of a length of bread or roll split lengthwise and filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments.The sandwich has no standardized name,with over a dozen variations used around the world.
The World Health Day is celebrated every year on April 7 to spread the awareness around maintaining good health and a balanced lifestyle.This year’s World Health Day theme couldn’t be more apt as it is dedicated to honour the indefatigable work of nurses and midwives across the globe.In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, thousands and millions of nurses are leaving behind their comfort and safety to fight the Covid-19 crisis and help those infected or suspected of coronavirus.
On this day, the World Health Organization calls for people to extend their gratitude and support nurses and midwives across the world. The WHO has named this year the ‘International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife’.
Sandwiches are one of the most popular breakfast choices.They’re quick, delicious, and, if properly portioned, an option for healthy meal. Veggies add both nutrients and flavor to the sandwich- Tomatoes, fresh greens lettuce, red onion, cucumbers and peppers are all good choices. Adding patties can add crunch and taste to the sandwich. You can pan fry the PATTIES which require minimal oil.
